painful experiences with compiling...

xushi · 05-24-2005, 03:29 PM

Alright.. this is a cry for help here. I'm having two problems for the past week that have been driving me mad. I've been having alot of trouble compilng certain applications in Solaris 10.. PArticularely two which give me a hell of alot of common problems.

The errors i get are similar to

Code:

ds   -lwx_base-2.6 -lwx_base_net-2.6  -lz  -lresolv -lnsl -lbfd -liberty -lgen
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
nanosleep                           amuled-AICHSyncThread.o  (symbol belongs to implicit dependency /usr/lib/librt.so.1)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to amuled
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [amuled] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `

or

Code:

Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
XParseGeometry                      amule-amule-gui.o  (symbol belongs to implic it dependency /usr/lib/libX11.so.4)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to amule
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I've googled alot about this, but the two answers i got either say that i should use GNU's ld (which i am), or to add something to the makefile which i couldn't really figure out. Heck i don't even know why i'm getting this problem in the first place..

Another problem i'm getting is when i'm trying to compile wxWindows (wxGTK 2.6.0) with GTK2 support. I am absolutely certain i have GTK2 installed. I asked in an irc chat for some help, everything they asked me to do showed that i have GTK2 installed, and that it should work.. but it just doesn't.. When i ./configure , i get this

Code:

checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.
configure: error:
The development files for GTK+ were not found. For GTK+ 2, please
ensure that pkg-config is in the path and that gtk+-2.0.pc is
installed. For GTK+ 1.2 please check that gtk-config is in the path,
and that the version is 1.2.3 or above. Also check that the
libraries returned by 'pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --libs' or 'gtk-config
--libs' are in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent.

Ii know for a fact that GTK2 is installed, along with the devl package,

Code:

root@yooniks:/download/wxGTK-2.6.0# pkginfo | grep gtk
system      CSWgtk                           gtk - the Gimp ToolKit library, libgtk
application CSWgtk2                          gtk2 - GTK+, The GIMP Toolkit
application CSWgtkspell                      gtkspell - Spell checking enhancement for the GtkTextView widget

Code:

# find / -name \*gtk+-2.0.pc -print
/usr/lib/sparcv9/pkgconfig/gtk+-2.0.pc
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gtk+-2.0.pc

Code:

# which pkg-config
/usr/bin/pkg-config

I'm using the following prefexes
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk --enable-unicode --disable-compat24 --enable-optimise && make

I tried adding --with-gtk-exec-prefix=/usr/bin
--with-gtk-prefix=/usr
--with-gtk-prefix=/opt/csw

and none of them solve the problem =/

My config.log is here
http://xushi.co.uk/xushi/config.log

A friend told me this,

Quote:

If you check the config.log file, you will see that when it checks for GTK2 and fails, the reason for failing is not the absence of GTK2, is that in the compilation command of the test program, there is an "unknown option m" specified. Searching in google, I found that seems to be a thread model in some architecture/OS, but in solaris should be pthread instead of m, so that's the failure (at least on my system, YMMV) that could be a start point for your investigation on this GTK2 issue.

I'm really confused here.. The two problems are holding me back, and i don't know where to start.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

From your message, it appears that you were trying to use the copy of GTK+, that you installed under /opt/csw. But from the log, it appears that the make system is trying to use another copy of GTK+, that it found under /usr/lib Or /opt/sfw. So, make sure to point it to the correct version (ie., version of your choice) of the library. Also if there is a choice to disable the gtk+ test, disable it during configure; and you can fix it later with run-time linker's search path, LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I found the following web page with instructions to compile Amule on Solaris, in their web site: http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/...ile_on_Solaris Please have a look at that (if you haven't already)

Could it be that it's getting confused between CSWgtk and CSWgtk2 ?

On a side note, to compile it and link it against GTK2, i'm using the following
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk --enable-unicode --disable-compat24 --enable-optimise && make

I'm actually helping him with that page

. But after googling, i noticed this problem isn't just on aMule, its on several other programs as well.

Ok thanks for the info, it made a few things more clear, but still i have the same problem.. bare with me, and tell me if i'm doing anything wrong =)

Ok, i've gone through my system again, I found SUNWGtk which i didn;t know i had before, and i killed it.

Now i only have CSWgtk2, which is what i need.

Code:

xushi@yooniks:~/public_html/mp3$ which pkg-config
/usr/bin/pkg-config
xushi@yooniks:~/public_html/mp3$ ldd /usr/bin/pkg-config
        libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1
        libm.so.2 =>     /lib/libm.so.2
        /platform/SUNW,Ultra-60/lib/libc_psr.so.1
# pkg-config --version
0.15.0

Also, to test and see if pkg-config has all the libraries linked properly, i scanned which ones it uses

Code:

# pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --libs
-lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm -lmlib -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0

Afterwards, i searched one of the libraries to see its location, and i got

Code:

# find / -name \*gdk_pixbuf-2.0\* -print
/usr/lib/sparcv9/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so
/usr/lib/sparcv9/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/sparcv9/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0.400.9
/usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so
/usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0.400.9
/usr/share/man/sman3/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.3
/opt/csw/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la
/opt/csw/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so
/opt/csw/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0
/opt/csw/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0.600.4
root@yooniks:/download/wxGTK-2.6.0#

So i can safely assume that i have the libraries in /usr/lib, and that if i have that in my library path, all should work.

Code:

# crle

Configuration file [version 4]: /var/ld/ld.config
  Default Library Path (ELF):   /lib:/usr/lib:/opt/csw/lib
  Trusted Directories (ELF):    /lib/secure:/usr/lib/secure  (system default)

Command line:
  crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l /lib:/usr/lib:/opt/csw/lib

But...... i'm still getting the problem =/

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk --enable-unicode --disable-compat24 --enable-optimise --disable-gtktest

                                       gnomeprint         no

And a nasty error not even 0.1 seconds through the compilation

Again, thanks for the help, and i hope this can be solved =)

If the issue is still unresolved:

Did you try to "configure" without any options?

I did (on x86), and in the very first attempt it picked up "motif" for the toolkit. Since the problem is with GTK, then I tried "configure --with-gtk". It is able to configure it properly, but in my case it failed during the compilation of some file. I didn't bother to fix the compilation issue, as I was just trying to reproduce the problem (the compilation issue is easy to fix, I believe).

If you still see the problem in your environment with "configure" and "configure --with-gtk", try to configure with "--with-gtk --with-gtk-prefix=/opt/csw" options. You can add the rest of the options, if it succeeds.

Note:
Irrespective of the OS, it is always good to have only one "clean" copy of the libraries. So, uninstall the unwanted copies of the same library.
